Sweet Jesus. Why is this absolute gammon still getting jobs on TV and why is that useless waste of spunk Nigel Farage still on TV.

Depends on the context, surely? There's nothing inherently racist about the word "slave." We'd need to see more than this clip to see if Holmes was out of order.

It is a painful watch mate. Farage and Holmes berating this man for 13 mins straight about why slavery is still a sore subject. It did however include Holmes getting his own national anthems context wrong and berating the poor guy for essentially not knowing it

You'd think as an Irish Catholic eamonn would be more sympathetic to those oppressed and bullied for centuries.

There's every chance that his Catholic ancestors in Ireland include some sent to the American colonies in 'indentured servitude' (or 'slavery')

I have listened to it, it is about context, Femi Oluwole loses all credibility when he attempts to criticise the BBC and one of the reporters for using the N word, the N word was, in that interview, a direct quote.

The BBC has subsequently apologised for using the N word so evidently they also felt they were worthy of criticism. Not sure that does anything to damage his credibility. Not sure why you would be keen to discredit him either when Holmes is the one being a massive dick here.

White people should not use that word and it is a big debate in the black community whether or not black people should continue using that word.

The BBC were wrong to use it.

It was a direct quote from a man who was the victim of a racist attack, cancel culture at it's worst.

The BBC(and other media) quite happily manage not to say all manner of offensive terms when they quote people being c0cks, they can manage this one.

Cancel culture? Has this become the new buzzword for expressing unhappiness about people propagating discriminatory attitudes or language? It seems to have done. The BBC has acknowledged it shouldn't have used the word, but evidently you know better.

Right. Hence the teary use of 'cancel culture' and all the angry ranting over something which really isn't that worth getting upset about. The BBC used an offensive term, they apologised for it, like they do about other offensive terms, I'm struggling to see your issue with it.

It's the new 'PC gone mad', 'you can't say anything these days' or 'woke' for dickheads of a certain stripe.

Also known as 'boo hoo, why can't people be openly racist in public anymore'.

I'm just curious for knowledge. Why is the 'n word' OK but the 'F' or 'C' ones not? The latter in particular carries a whole ton of baggage..

You wish to ban a word that was used in a racist attack, it was a quote from the victim repeated by the reporter, it was needed to stress the nasty racist side of the attack.

The F and C words are fully ok if they are required in the context of the discussion, if they make you blush perhaps you should get out a little more.
